Unhappy drivers talk about the fuel hike
George motorists have voiced their frustration over the petrol price increase on Wednesday, many saying the cost of living in South Africa is already high and that the increase will affect mostly the poor. The Department of Energy has increased 93 and 95 octane petrol by 26c per litre and 23c per litre, respectively, pushing the price to more than R16 per litre in inland provinces for the first time.
